Up until the 3rd quarter of 2011, Girls’ Generation raked in a grand total of $ 19.3 million USD in Korea. If you include 4th quarter sales for "The Boys" along with their Japanese promotions, it is estimated that the total revenue figure would exceed 100 billion won or approximately $ 88.56 million USD.

These figures don’t include individual solo activities (appearances, performances), special projects, SMTown concerts, and more. Because such figures weren’t tallied in, there’s a high probability that final revenue figures are much higher.

4. [+244, -37] Hate all you want but the girl group one top is still SNSD. They barely even promoted last year too.

5. [+239, -40] It is quite amazing… girl groups usually make and sell less than boy groups but SNSD is far and above the rest

6. [+212, -28] Keep in mind that the 22 billion won is only from their group promos, not counting individual and other activities like Taetiseo

7. [+201, -27] Talk all you want, it’s still SNSD

8. [+154, -22] I’m an A Pink fan and A Pink made 6 billion won last year so SNSD tripled them…

9. [+142, -16] I feel like they would’ve made more…

10. [+122, -15] I bet they made at least 35~40 billion won this year then

11. [+69, -2] Considering this is only their group’s imagine if you add in their radios, musicals, international CFs and events, dramas, units… it’d come out to so much. And they didn’t even promote that much in 2014 too..
